Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the advent of an era of artificial intelligence and big data, traditional von Neumann architecture encounters a range of issues stemming from the physical separation of the memory and processor units, including energy consumption wall and memory wall. Memristors provide significant opportunities for overcoming such issues, through achieving in-memory computing or bio-inspired neuromorphic computing. In addition, newly emerging optoelectronic memristors further integrate sensory functionalities with memory and computing to develop advanced neuromorphic vision systems. The exploration and application of memristors and optoelectronic memristors have gained significant interest, as they will likely contribute to a revolution in information devices.
This Special Issue aims to compile original research and review papers that focus on advanced memristors and optoelectronic memristors with the above application potentials, especially those concerning materials and device design, large-scale integration fabrication technology, and mechanism understanding.
It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript to this Special Issue. Full papers, short communications, and reviews are welcome.
Dr. Liyuan Long

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
